5 Installation and Start-Up
90
For Windows 10, 8:
(1) Open the Device Manager to display the device
tree. Look for the “PCI device” entry and update
its driver by specifying the folder that includes the
RTC6 board driver.
(2) Run
ScanlabClassChecker.cmd
as Administrator
(part of the delivered software package; see there
also the background information in
ReadMe_ScanlabClassChecker.pdf
).
5.4 Installing the RTC6 Software
Additionally to installing the RTC6 board driver, the
RTC6 software must be “installed”, that is, copied or
unzipped on the hard drive of the PC.
RTC6 software for RTC6 PCIe Boards are the
following files, see also Section ”Folder RTC6 Files”,
page 33:
• RTC6 DLL
–
RTC6DLL.dll
Win32-based RTC6 dynamic link library
–
RTC6DLLx64.dll
Win64-based RTC6 dynamic link library
• RTC6 files
–
RTC6OUT.out
,
Program file for the PCIe-DSP
–
RTC6ETH.out
Program file for the Eth-DSP
–
RTC6RBF.rbf
Firmware file for the FPGA
–
RTC6DAT.dat
Binary auxiliary file
The files are included in the RTC6 Software Package.
For easy identifying and archiving of different
software versions, some of the files are also delivered
zipped (the
zip
file names
RTC6<…>_<Version>.zip
include the version numbers).
To install the RTC6 software, follow these steps:
• Copy
RTC6DLL.dll
(or
RTC6DLLx64.dll
),
RTC6OUT.out
(with RTC6 Ethernet Boards
RTC6ETH.out
),
RTC6RBF.rbf
and
RTC6DAT.dat
(of the
desired version) to your PC.
Note that differing file versions cannot be
arbitrarily combined with another (each
zip
file
includes a text file with corresponding version
information).
Notes
• Also provide the necessary correction file(s)
(existing
*.ct5
correction files can still be used;
do not overwrite customized correction files!).
Notice!
• The RTC6 PCIe Board does not support power-
saving modes that switch off power to the PCIe
bus. Accordingly, you must disable standby or
sleep modes of the operating system.
Particularly disable the Windows sleep mode
option (some Windows operating systems
enable this option by default). You can use the
SleepMode.cmd
script included in the
RTC6 Software Package (under
RTC6 Tools
) to
do this.
See also Section ”Notes”, page 37.
Notice!
• On some PCs it may happen that an
RTC6 PCIe Board is not recognized by the device
manager in a certain PCIe slot. Use a different
slot.
